Extracting Javadoc

The following shell script can be used to extract the Mac OS X source and Javadoc files in a separate directory. After extracting the resources from the jar files the script opens three new windows in Safari with all of the root index.html nodes for the three different versions of Java. In addition Finder windows are opened for the directories created for the three Java versions.
